Same place you put in the oil. Big round cap that just happens to be placed on the valve cover which happens to be directly above those infamous leaking valve cover gaskets. Inside all that is the noisy lifters :-)

The stuff used to quiet noisy lifters is basically ultra thick oil. The "quick acting solvents" is normally Kerosene. I would suggest warming the bottle first before attempting to "pour" it in. Probably easiest to find a good nesting spot under the hood and let it sit there while driving around or dip the [unopened/capped] bottle in hot water for a bit.

I like your companies work, makes me realize I need to do some serious renovation on my own website.
